PALATE
Well-integrated tannins and lively acidity accompany a delicate bouquet with impeccable acidity and dramatic finish.
The beginning of the 2020 Burgundy harvest marked the earliest start to picking in the last 25 years, and the warmer-than-average temperatures with a lack of precipitation reduced the yield of many crops. Thankfully, the grapes that thrived produced wines with unbelievable freshness, texture, concentration, and vibrant acidity.
Volnay, Burgundy’s renowned south-east-facing vineyards, stand tall with steep, dramatic views. Most impressive in this region is the oolitic limestone. Its pink and pale-green minerals are scattered amongst the banks of metamorphic rock. Best known for their irresistible floral aroma with fresh fruit and spice on the palate, these wines can be enjoyed both young and over time.
Aged in 33% new French oak, this Pinot Noir displays dark, concentrated fruits with plush, nuanced complexity and well-integrated tannins. Lively acidity accompanies a delicate floral bouquet and notes of cranberry and cherry, while the finish impressively lingers.
Fact of Note: Only red wine is legally produced in Volnay.
THE PICTURESQUE VILLAGE OF VOLNAY, situated in the Côte de Beaune, is renowned for producing some of Burgundy’s most elegant and refined Pinot Noir. Known for its silky texture and ethereal balance, Volnay is a cherished addition to Kosta Browne’s Burgundy portfolio.
Volnay’s vineyards benefit from limestone-dominant soils and an optimal climate that encourages slow, even ripening. These conditions yield wines with a delicacy and grace that are hallmarks of the appellation. The wines are often described as floral, with notes of violets and roses, and showcase an extraordinary finesse.
